Northern Central R. R. Items.-In order
to do away with two bridges, the Northern Cen
trail Railroad Company has changed the course of
the Gunpowder, below Parkton, by cutting a
channel about one hundred feet in length and thus
Strengthening the bed of the stream and making
a great improvement in the road at that point.
| The company, having discovered that its present
iron bridges not heavy enough to hear the
weight of the powerful engines in use on the road,
are replacing them with much stronger structures,
|
the very best and safest in the country and no
pense is spared to keep it up to its high standard
| of excellence.

, | ductors of this road has caused great deal Of
